The high density of evanescent modes in the vicinity of a metal leads to enhancement of the near-field F\"{o}rster resonant energy transfer (FRET) rate. We present a classical approach to calculate the FRET rate based on the dyadic Green's…
Research into the efficiency of photosynthetic light harvesting has focused on two factors: (1) entanglement of chromophores, and (2) environmental noise. While chromophores are conjugated $\pi$-bonding molecules with strongly correlated…
In scanning tunneling microscopy induced luminescence (STML), the photon counting is measured to reflect the single-molecule properties, e.g., the first molecular excited state. The energy of the first excited state is typically determined…
